INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

Your TQi transmitter uses 4 AA batteries. The battery compartment
is located in the base of the transmitter.
1. Remove the battery
compartment door
by sliding the
door open.
2. Install the batteries
in the correct orientation
as indicated in the battery
compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery door and snap it closed.
4. Turn on the transmitter and check the status
indicator for a solid green light.
If the status LED flashes red, the transmitter
batteries may be weak, discharged, or possibly
installed incorrectly. Replace with new or
freshly charged batteries. The power indicator
light does not indicate the charge level of the
battery pack installed in the model. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section on page 24 for more
information on the transmitter Status LED codes.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

Your model features a 2-position battery hold-down to
accommodate a variety of LiPo and NiMH batteries. From the
factory, the compartment is set up for 6-cell NiMH packs and
the Traxxas Power Cell LiPo batteries indicated in the Power Cell
Battery Compatibility Chart. A "tall" battery strap clip is included
to accommodate 7- and 8-cell NiMH hump packs as well as other
Traxxas Power Cell LiPo batteries. See the following chart for the
complete listing of Traxxas Power Cell batteries that may be used in
the model.
Note: Your model requires a battery pack with
a Traxxas High-Current connector. Do not
attempt to modify or remove the High-Current
Connector to allow fitment of a battery with
a different connector. Modifying or removing the High-Current
Connector will void the model's 90-day Electronics Warranty.
